“…However, the dominant factors have different controlling mechanisms under different climates, as reported by previous authors (Riebe et al, 2001;Dosseto et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2012). Within the study area, chemical weathering rates of silicate and carbonate in the 2nd Songhuajiang River Basin are much higher than that of the Nenjiang River Basin.…”

“…For example, weathering may respond rapidly to high-frequency climatic fluctuations under a tropical climate (Dosseto et al, 2006). Liu et al (2012) showed that temperature and precipitation were the principal factors while tectonics was only a subordinate factor controlling the chemical weathering in tropical SE Asia. However, strong tectonic and weak climatic control could be observed under temperate climate (Riebe et al, 2001) and temperature may have a negative action on silicate weathering for river basins in a cold climate .…”

“…Chemical weathering is controlled by multiple factors such as climate (temperature, runoff) (White and Blum, 1995;Liu et al, 2012), lithology, tectonics (Goudie and Viles, 2012), vegetation and human activities (Roy et al, 1999;Li et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2011), etc. However, the controlling mechanisms that these factors have on chemical weathering are still uncertain.…”

The East China Sea is characterized by wide continental shelf receiving a huge input of terrigenous matter from both large rivers and mountainous rivers, which makes it an ideal natural laboratory for studying sediment source‐to‐sink transport processes. This paper presents mineralogical and geochemical data of the clays and bulk sediments from the rivers entering the East China Sea, aiming to investigate the general driving mechanism of silicate weathering and sediment transport processes in East Asian continental margin. Two types of river systems, tectonically stable continental rivers and tectonically active mountainous rivers, coexist in East Asia. As the direct weathering products, clays can better reflect the silicate weathering regimes within the two river systems. Provenance rock types are not the dominant factor causing silicate weathering intensity difference existed in the East Asian rivers. The silicate weathering intensity of tectonically stable river basins is primarily driven by monsoon climate, and the sediment transfer is relatively slow because of natural trapping process and increasing damming effect. The geochemistry of these river‐borne sediments can thus indicate paleo‐weathering intensities in East Asian continent. In contrast, silicate weathering intensity in tectonically active mountainous rivers is greatly limited by strong physical erosion despite the high temperature and highest monsoon rainfall. The factors controlling silicate weathering in tectonically active catchments are complex and thus, it should be prudent to use river sediment records to decipher paleoclimate change. These two different silicate weathering regimes and sediment transport processes are manifestations of the landscape evolution and overall dominate the sedimentation in Asian continental margin.
